RACE THROUGH HISTORY

about us

GFNY Jerusalem is a personal cycling endurance challenge, where you compete against others, the clock, and yourself. There are two distances to choose from depending on your skill level and preference from a 70km to 130km. Everyone from a competitive rider to a recreational rider can enjoy this event. GFNY races are determined by the different types of challenges they offer from steep climbs to gusty winds or all combined.

The GFNY original slogan BE A PRO FOR A DAY is the true meaning of what all participants feel at all GFNY races which is a true sensation of what a professional cyclist would feel on the race course. This includes all of the following:

Mass start

Individual chip timing from start to finish with prizes at the end for all category winners.

Fans cheering you on the road as you ride by to the finish line.

Aid stations filled with food that the pros would be eating on the course.

Ambulance support both rolling and at aid stations.

Mechanical support both rolling and at all aid stations.

Podium awards ceremony that the pros would be jealous of.

THe Jerusalem Municipality, the Jerusalem Development Authority, and THE MINISTRY OF JERUSALEM & HERITAGE.
